![]() Stroke thickness emerged as another influencing factor affecting the legibility of the typeface. ![]() Specific legibility issues have been determined, together with their recurrences, allowing to organize these issues in a scale of priority. Another legibility issue is related to the spacing between the different letters used to build a single syllable/block. Results The tests demonstrated that legibility issues are correlated to the letters’ deformation derived by the alphabetic syllabary nature of the Korean writing system, which implies compression and stretching of the letters to fit a square block. Half of the participants were selected among the elderly, more prone to visual acuity issues, in order to detect eventual relevant variances in the results when compared to the average population. The participants in these tests were selected among the local population. The second test intent is to determine specific legibility issues. The first test aims to select, among widely used Hangeul typefaces the most proper one to run the following test. Methods Two correlated qualitative tests were conducted. This paper aims to define the key issues in current Korean typeface design and to determine guidelines for the development of Universal Design (UD) Hangeul typefaces. The studies on this specific topic at the local level have been barely considered by the design community. ![]() Having reference guidelines to facilitate the development of highly legible typefaces can be a further improvement in this context and can help to maintain a clear focus on the benefits for the end-user. Background The design of new typefaces is going towards the direction of multilingual, multiscript and cross-platform solutions, delivering globally a consistent appearance. ![]()
